A mentor of mine recently helped me get a job working with them, and at the same time I ended up falling into a depression episode. I’ve been struggling to focus enough to do my work, crying at minor inconveniences, and feeling like I’m letting everyone down. I don’t know what to do anymore to make it better, I’m just disappointing everyone and my team is picking up my slack

Can you take a leave of absence? I joined KPMG from Deloitte and took a 3 month LOA after falling into depression and having the same thoughts. Definitely worth looking into

Also, zero regrets. I needed the time badly and I don’t have enough energy anymore to care about others’ perspectives. I did a lot of therapy during my time off and honestly, we’re replaceable as a resource. You as a human - are not. Take care of yourself and there’s always a job at there
